Haines Research Paper:

The Haines Research Paper is an argumentative paper. The paper must be debatable and must supply other perspectives that are opposite of your opinion. An argumentative research paper consists of an introduction in which the writer clearly introduces the topic and informs the audience exactly which stance the writer intends to take; this stance is often identified as the thesis statement.

The purpose of this assignment is to have students focus on a problem or issue, make a logical argument, and assert a position. During your research, you will not simply describe a topic, but critically give thoughts and opinions about it, while drawing on ideas and theories from others in the field who have written about the topic.

Assignment Instructions:

(Note: Based upon the approved topic, thesis statement, and outline, this paper will have five level one headings, including the Conclusion).
